"I am very lucky in my life to have two incredible fathers - my own father and then I get to watch my husband be a father to our boys," Underwood boasts. "Strong, amazing men. I am very lucky to be around them. Mike as a dad is just super-involved in our boys' lives. Very hands-on."
Underwood admits parenting can be a challenge, especially when she is on tour.
"It takes a team, definitely, to be able to support my crazy life," Underwood says. "And Mike's always running around doing a lot of charity things. He's always meeting with people, and he's on different boards and stuff like that. So we're very much switching off duties as far as taking boys here and there to school and sports and to all the extra-curricular activities."
Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher's Relationship
Underwood and Fisher got married in 2010. In the years since then, the two have learned how to rely strongly on each other, especially when life gets busy. At the time, Fisher was a professional hockey player. Now retired, sports remain an important part of his life.
"I just love that I feel like we're such a great team," the singer says. "I love it that he gets to now work with Isaiah on sports and things like that, and I know he loves it too. So, I think that's one of my favorite qualities about Mike is just how hands on of a father he is and very willing to pick up the slack when I'm crazy busy. Obviously, he's just a very Godly father, as well. He keeps God as the center of our family and gets to teach our boys all about that, as well. So, he's just a great guy all around."
Underwood relied on Fisher a lot earlier this year while she was on American Idol, serving her first season as a judge. She has yet to reveal if she will return next season.
